Big-Block Shootout Part 2
Our camshaft is an Erson piece, carrying PN R-276-1. Measurements are .675-inch lift and 276 degrees (at .050 inch of lift) of duration on the intake, with .645-inch (and 286 degrees of duration) on the exhaust. Can you say rumpity-rump! If it idles around 850rpm like Dick says, we'll have to call it streetable. Better not rely on it for power brakes, though. How about a high-stall converter? You bet; Dick suggested something in the 3,000-rpm range, if not more. This is a lot of cam for the street, but we don't like building wussy engines. View Related Article
